Greetings,

Still fighting with this set. I have concluded that even though the AGC
circuit seems to be working, it may not be working correctly. I need a
schematic of the circuit to go further. Does someone have a schematic they
can email me directly, upload to the members area, or fax me? I mainly need
the AGC circuit.

Make: Zenith
Model: SMS-2053S
Module: 9-1457-1

Thank you for your help.

Bob,

This Zenith uses a 9-1457-1 module. There does not appear to be a capacitor
just to the left of the regulator heat sink hooked between two jumpers. The
only capacitors in that area are mounted through holes on the PCB and are:
C3417, 222K, Ceramic
C3419, 182K, Ceramic
C3482, .001, Mylar
No electrolytics in that area.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks for you assistance.
